The film’s alternate title, The Life of Adele – Chapters 1 & 2, underlines both the novelistic tone of the story, and the film’s separation from its source material. Here, Clementine is renamed Adele (Adèle Exarchopolous), but remains a sociable and clearly bright high school student in suburban France. Their story has the timbre of tragedy, which couldn’t be farther from the vision of Abdellatif Kechiche’s engrossing adaptation. In it, the author tells the story of 15-year-old Clementine and Emma, her art-school lover and eventual long-term partner, through death-struck flashback, stirred by the reading of a trusty diary. Julie Maroh’s graphic novel Blue Is the Warmest Color reads like an elegy.
